Yes, we owe a great debt to The South for introducing the rest of us to such indescribable delicacies as RC Cola and Moon Pie, Dr Pepper, the Praline(disputed by the French) and of course Stuckey's Pecan Log Roll. There however has been little recognition of the Moon Pies little bastard brother, Uncle Al's Lemon Planks! Appropriately, in Shreveport,Louisiana outside The Soap Opera laundramat Dr Clair had the opportunity to sample this regional delight and is happy to report that it will likely remain a regional delight! Whoever chose the descriptive "planks" obviously tried this pastry(?) before settling on such an appropriate name, realizing that "Lemon Particle Board" would probably adversely impact the already limited sales! Dr Clair was quick to wash this dessert down with Resurrection Anti-Hangover Energy Drink(seriously) before deciding to stick to his regular diet of his own making on this trip, a Little Debbie Snack Cake with a Red Bull chaser! Connoisseur of fine food this trip, he's not!
They do look rather disgusting Clair. I love your descriptions of the things you do and see on the way!Hopefully we can talk when you get to Amber and John's.
ReplyDeleteOh man! You were supposed to have Crawfish Etoufee and Red Beans and Dirty Rice with Sweet Tea and chased by muddy coffee... Oh and fried catfish and praline! You need to turn around and go back! You are missing all the good stuff!
